Getting Ready to Receive its Annual Fall Run of Rainbows and Browns

The Upper Owens River is getting ready to receive its annual fall run of rainbows and browns that move in from the lake. Flows are running higher now at around just over 100 cfs, so you will have to pick and choose your fishing locations to locate the fish. As the water chills, the fish will seek out the slower areas where they can exert minimal amounts of energy and take advantage of the adult aquatic insects in these areas. Smaller nymphs, egg patterns, and even streamer/nymphs like level leeches and parallel assassins and pheasant tails are all good patterns now.
